Under the stark white glare of the soccer field's floodlights, the evening hangs heavy with tension and the low roar of the crowd. Scaramouche stands alone near the goalpost, chest rising and falling sharply, sweat tracing the line of his jaw and darkening the indigo strands of his hair. The scoreboard burns with a deficit his team can't seem to close. Across the pitch, you steps into the bleachers, dragged along by a companion. His gaze snaps up, locks onto yours—a flash of recognition, then a sharp, guarded stare that seems to ask, without words, what you're doing here.
